Associate Professor, The Bartlett, UCL & Director
Description
Dr Kayvan Karimi is an Associate Professor within the Space Syntax Laboratory at the Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL, and the Director for the MSc and MRes programmes in Space Syntax: Architecture and Cities. He is also a director of Space Syntax Limited, a UCL knowledge-transfer company that utilises the UCL and in-house research in providing professional urban and architectural design consultancy. Kayvan is an architectural and urban designer with more than twenty five years of academic and professional experience. He has worked extensively on a wide range of research and consultancy projects, including: patio-configurational network analysis, configurational urban morphology, strategic city and regional planning, strategic transport planning, urban regeneration, large-scale urban master planning, urban conservation, revitalisation of historic centres, regeneration of informal settlements, complex buildings, public realm design and pedestrian movement planning. In recent years, Kayvan has been developing advanced methods for evidence-based urban or architectural design and planning, from a very macro scale, such strategic plans for of an entire city, to a very micro scale, such as the design of small public spaces or buildings. While maintaining one foot in the academic world and the other in the professional practice, Kayvan has tried to craft a unique ability to bridge between these two worlds, enriching his teaching by real life experiences and strengthening his consultancy work by engaging in extensive academic research and teaching.
